Early Stage Foreign Body Reaction against Biodegradable Polymer Scaffolds Affects Tissue Regeneration during the Autologous Transplantation of Tissue-Engineered Cartilage in the Canine Model

Cell Transplantation, 2012
To overcome the weak points of the present cartilage regenerative medicine, we applied a porous scaffold for the production of tissue-engineered cartilage with a greater firmness and a 3D structure.

Vitamin D Receptor Genetic Polymorphisms Associate With a Decreased Susceptibility to Extremity Osteomyelitis Partly by Inhibiting Macrophage Apoptosis Through Inhibition of Excessive ROS Production via VDR-Bmi1 Signaling

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Background: Previous studies had reported that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms were related to the development of several inflammatory disorders. However, potential links between such variations and the risk of developing a bone infection and

High efficiency transfection of embryonic limb mesenchyme with plasmid DNA using square wave pulse electroporation and sucrose buffer

BioTechniques, 2014
Micromass cultures of primary embryonic limb mesenchyme are a valuable model system for studying cartilage formation in vitro. However, high efficiency introduction of plasmid DNA into this hard-to-transfect cell type typically results in considerable ...

Cellular senescence in aging and osteoarthritis: Implications for cartilage repair

Acta Orthopaedica, 2016
— It is well accepted that age is an important contributing factor to poor cartilage repair following injury, and to the development of osteoarthritis.

A DIA‐MS‐based proteomics approach to find potential serum prognostic biomarkers in glioblastoma patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A DIA‐MS‐based proteomics analysis of serum samples from GB patients and healthy controls showed that high levels of IL1R2 and low levels of CRTAC1 and HRG in serum are associated with poor survival outcomes for GB patients. These circulating proteins could serve as biomarkers for the prediction of outcome in patients with GB.

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Antenatal Corticosteroid Therapy Attenuates Angiogenesis Through Inhibiting Osteoclastogenesis in Young Mice

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Antenatal corticosteroid therapy (ACT) has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality rates in preterm delivery, but the fetus is more likely to face the risk of low bone mineralization and low fetal linear growth.

Copper-Containing Alloy as Immunoregulatory Material in Bone Regeneration via Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
In the mammalian skeletal system, osteogenesis and angiogenesis are closely linked by type H vessels during bone regeneration and repair. Our previous studies confirmed the promotion of these processes by copper-containing metal (CCM) in vitro and in ...

Semantic Context Forests for Learning-Based Knee Cartilage Segmentation in 3D MR Images [PDF]

, 2013
The automatic segmentation of human knee cartilage from 3D MR images is a useful yet challenging task due to the thin sheet structure of the cartilage with diffuse boundaries and inhomogeneous intensities. In this paper, we present an iterative multi-class learning method to segment the femoral, tibial and patellar cartilage simultaneously, which ...
